Today we are looking at lighting in the home and how it can really illuminate, open up small spaces and add definition to the atmosphere.

So how can it be done?…

Using he right variety of different lighting such as table lamps, floor lamps or ceiling lights…SIMPLE. With a variety of lights to choose from you can brighten up any room in your home, we are using www.gorgeoustouch.co.uk and looking at their wide range of lighting and see what to choose to suit individual style.

This lamp can be used in either a bedroom or lounge and would be a perfect addition to all styles. The mirrored edges and embellishments in the crystals gives the Julienne Lamp lots of sparkle to bounce light around any room. This table lamp is elegant with a quirky detail, which is a piece I would like for my home to add some extra style.

A more affordable lamp is the Crystal range diamond lamp. This is a popular style of lamp, adding a bit of glam yet still being more subtle. With its chunky square diamonds and mirrored boarder, this modern lamp will reflect light in a hallway or can be matched up with the full collection such as the diamond boarder mirror or picture frame to brighten up any room.

If you are looking for a lamp to add a bit more colour then look no further than The Beaumont table lamp. This gorgeous lamp comes in six colours so finding the right colour for your room should be no bother at all, be brave and use red or pink to help make a room pop. This classy lamp is beautiful with its added glass crystals to reflect light around the room. Best of all you can match the table lamp with the excellent choice of Chandelier or Floor lamp to match.

As I am not for all things sparkly, I like the Chrome illusion lampas it is very unique and quirky. When the light is on it becomes slightly transparent giving a subtle look. This would be perfect in a living room or bedroom that already has a great focal point. This quirky lamp comes in silver or gold and gives beautiful mood lighting and matching the lamp up with the illusion floor lamp will really give an effective style.

With a mixture of styles to choose from there are many chandeliers which are all beautiful and elegant like the Belgravia chandelier black or the Vegas chandelier. My personal favourite is the 14 arm chandelierbecause it’s a statement piece made with thousands of tiny crystals to give a gorgeous effect making the light sparkle. Available in black for more atmosphere lighting or clear to shine all around the room, this big bold piece would look luxurious above a elegant dining table.

The Black Henley chandelier is a smaller alternative if you are looking for something more affordable and not as dramatic. This chandelier still has the glamorous look to it, yet it is more subtle and would look beautiful in a bedroom or smaller area of your home.

As I am into more quirky styling, I like The bulb shaped chandelier. This is a great fashion piece with its design to look like a giant bulb. This light really sets the atmosphere with its decorative wire to add definition and style.

To give your home more glamour then look no further than the caged chandelier or galaxy ceiling light which will bounce light around any room with the crystal droplets and chrome finish.

Floor lamps

Floor lamps are a great use of space and provide some striking light, modern pieces are very fashionable to create a luxurious feel. Adding bling to a room can reflect lots of light around the room. The crushed diamond floor lamp is a popular product, as sparkles are admired by many. This floor lamp can be used as a single statement piece or joined with other matching products such as the crushed diamonds square wall clock.

To add a more personal touch add quirkiness to your home look no further than The black mosaic floor standing lamp really gives something different with the base made up of black mosaic pieces making each piece individual. I personally like this floor lamp as it stands out from traditional styles, with its black shade the lighting can be quite dimmed to set the mood.

Furniture is very much a fashion industry and in recent times we have seen the popularity of Solid Oak furniture rise and solid pine fall but that is all about to change with the revival of reclaimed painted pine.
Pine is a soft wood and is easy to work with, as a material it is also cheaper to purchase than Oak wood. In the 1990’s Pine was a popular material for furniture and there were numerous local carpenters working with Pine but as the price of imported Oak products came down the fashion tilted towards Oak.
With the introduction of reclaimed painted pine we are starting to see an increase in popularity of Pine furniture especially if you are looking for something different.

This range of reclaimed pine is hand painted and hand waxed so every piece is unique and individual.The range offers practical solutions to storage whilst still having the cottage look for example this display cabinet really shows the versatility of painted pine. It also means designers can use pine for any room, this example of bedroom furniture really allows you to see what can be achieved with painted pine furniture.

In the current economic climate we have more customers that want to achieve an interior designer look without the interior designer price. Finding bold statement pieces of furniture or accessories normally comes with a huge price tag.

As bold statement pieces of furniture goes you cannot find better than Coach House, a company that is sum ominous with interior designers throughout the UK. We have often bumped into and met some of the more well known TV personality interior designers when we visit their show room. Coach House bring designer pieces that really make a bold statement, often made by hand and carved to perfection using the best materials available they really do stand out. We currently sell a number of Coach House lines at http://www.gorgeoustouch.co.uk/coach-house-241-c.asp as you can see the quality and design bring along a high sale price but we have been able to source a supplier that is able to achieve a designer look without faltering on quality and brings along a much more money savvy price tag.

An example is the classic design French Armoire wardrobe, styled on furniture from the late 1700’s during the reign of Louis XIV where style was characterised by free curves and decorative work was influenced from Chinese art.
A full mirrored Armoire from Coach House will cost £1249
Where as our interpretation piece styled from the same era is only £699

A hand carved bed from the Coach House collection as a standard double (4.6ft) sells at £849
